"Dusk is upon us, darkness is upon us. The Demon King from a thousand years ago has been resurrected. Only by joining the darkness will you have a chance to survive. The light is gone, the Mystic Land is in chaos. Corrupt and greedy nobles fill the world. Walk with us, it is the only chance to correct the world and eliminate all injustice. Dusk is upon us … … "
Not long after entering the city, they heard the missionary standing on a high platform and shouting loudly. A group of people who had lost all hope stood below the platform, numbly listening to the people on the platform shouting passionately.
Even when the two carriages entered the city, they did not attract anyone's attention. The people who were staggering along the streets seemed to be indifferent to everything. It was doubtful that they even had a purpose for their actions.
Seeing this scene, even Lich, who was quite angry before entering the city, calmed down. There was something strange about this place, so she did not dare to act rashly. Of course, she was not afraid of causing trouble, killing people, or making a big deal out of it. She was afraid of alerting the enemy and scaring them away.
From the preacher's preaching, he could basically confirm that this group of people wanted to cause trouble under his banner. What they thought and what they did had nothing to do with him. Fen only wanted to find Juyan Hanen, who was behind this group of people. He was once the person she trusted the most, and then pay the price for his betrayal.
Lin looked at the Lich who was usually harmless to humans and animals. However, when she met her old subordinates, she lost all sense of reason. All he could think of was how to torture the other party and make them understand the consequences of betraying him. Marco Lin was quite speechless about this.
Thinking about how she might have been trying to convert her power into divine power, if she ignited the Godfire and condensed a Divine Spark, she would probably be called the Goddess of Vengeance. From what he knew, the Gods of the Mystic Land did not have the concept of vengeance. Instead, it was the God of Justice.
Back then, she caused such a huge commotion because she wanted to take revenge. She chased after the old Gods all over the world. After a thousand years, she thought that the love and hatred related to her would have faded with time. She did not expect that there were still some old Gods from her generation who had stayed behind. As soon as she heard about them, Lich's eyes turned red and she was ready to hunt them down.
Thinking of this, a certain someone had an idea. Why were those people like chickens waiting to be slaughtered, while he was a monkey sitting on the side? It was just that he wasn't Sun Wukong, and that person wasn't Buddha either. No matter how he ran, he couldn't escape from her grasp. Which part of the process went wrong? If something were to happen in the future, would he also be hunted down by the entire world?
No, it could be worse. If he managed to figure out the method of interstellar teleportation, he would be hunted down by the entire universe …
Thinking of this, Lin shuddered! Oh my god, this is big trouble!
Just as a certain someone was silently complaining that he might not have a good ending for the rest of his life, Hallumi led the group into a small tavern. Other than eating, he also wanted to gather information. The reason why she chose this place was because she saw the three-feathered bird symbol of the Turtledove Alliance.
After the eight of them sat down, Hallumi placed three Kiels (gold coins) on the table. It was not very neat. The topmost one was leaning against the table. This was the symbol used by the Turtledove Alliance when they communicated secretly and didn't want to be publicized.
Not long after, someone took the initiative to deliver food, ale, and water. After accepting the three Kiels, he sat down and said, "Generous guests, what can I do for you?"
The waiter who delivered the food smiled very happily. Generally speaking, most people would casually use a few Danba (copper coins) for the symbol used. The better ones would use Kiels (silver coins). Who would use a Kiel? However, whether the other party was the real deal or just happened to place the symbol needed more screening. But when he saw the three-feathered bird necklace pendant with red and black lines, he didn't suspect anything and changed the way he addressed her. "Sister."
"Brother, I'm just asking, what's wrong with this city? Don't tell me Tranquility Bay is so crowded that it can't survive? "
Anyone who knew a little about the relationship between the two cities would understand the love and hate entanglement between them. That was why Hallumi asked this question.
The waiter who was asked was quite familiar with the local situation. He said with a wry smile, "If it were just two cities competing, it wouldn't have turned into this situation."
"The Hanen Society?" Hallumi interrupted and mentioned a possibility.
The waiter nodded very cautiously. After looking around, he said, "About a year ago, the Hanen Society, which had been spreading underground, suddenly appeared on the stage and had disagreements with the ruling family at the time. After that, there was chaos. All kinds of assassinations and fights were endless. In the end, all the ruling families withered, and those who were still alive fled the city. Storm Bay completely became the property of the Hanen Society, and then it became what it is today. "
"Well, no one stopped it?"
"Us? Stop the regional power from changing? The Alliance doesn't care so much. Moreover, Storm Bay today is only a small place in the maze. Strange sects have developed, and killing a few people is nothing. No one will pay attention to it. And looking at the whole maze, which of the powerful churches didn't have mountains of corpses and seas of bones? This is because of the news that a few of our missing companions may have been killed by them. That's why people started to investigate. "
The Turtledove Alliance was not a righteous organization. Strictly speaking, it was just a group of people helping each other. It didn't rule out that there were a few people who were nosy, but in most cases, they wouldn't intervene in the fights between nobles, churches, or the fight for dominance of the city. There was no end to this kind of power struggle, even if innocent people were hurt because of it.
Hallumi understood the purpose of the Alliance. She also understood that even if they didn't intervene, the Alliance still paid attention to this kind of information so that they could quickly respond to all unexpected situations. This was what Hallumi wanted to rely on. "Is there anything we should pay attention to about the Hanen Society? Also, do you know where their nest is? "
The leader of the Alliance looked up and down at Hallumi and the few people around her. Apart from the dwarves, the few human characteristics were quite obvious. He said, "Sister, your companions are Magicians, right? The main force of the Hanen Society is all Magic Breaker. Please be careful."
"The main force of the Hanen Society? What do you mean? "
"Since they took the initiative to spread their doctrines and recruit new people, many strong people have joined them, hoping to have a place in the future Dark Army. These strong people have all kinds of people. However, the first group of people were all Magic Breakers. There are ways to deal with the strong Magicians without using Magic Breaker weapons. "
"Oh, you're familiar with these people?" Hallumi was a little curious. She had once searched for information related to the Hanen Society on the forum with Kaya, but there was very little useful information.
Hearing this, the servant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've fought with this group of people a long time ago. Oh, it wasn't a real fight. It was just that they had committed some crimes, and I found some clues. But at that time, I didn't go too deep, just paid attention. They have done a lot of live sacrifices, but those who died were bastards who didn't deserve to live, or some poor people who had been tortured. Since I couldn't help them, giving them a quick death was a good thing. On the one hand, they are quite ruthless. If someone gets in their way, they don't mind using those people as live sacrifices. So at that time, I didn't go too deep to avoid exposing myself. "
"Oh, are they good people?"
"Heh, not really. Only those who died, no one would look into the reasons behind it. It's the least negative thing to do. "
Hallumi thought about it seriously and found that it was true. If those who died were people who had done all kinds of bad things, and those people mysteriously disappeared, there would probably be more people celebrating than looking into it. Even the companions of those people would probably only focus on fighting for the benefits that were left vacant, and not on revenge.
As for those so-called poor people, there was nothing wrong with that. Even if they died, became disabled, or disappeared, no one would care.
However, Hallumi thought of something else and asked, "What do they want to do by sacrificing people? Does it have anything to do with the person behind it, Juyan Hanen? Also, is that Juyan Hanen the real deal? "
In the face of Hallumi's many questions, the servant didn't get too impatient. As a member of the Turtledove Alliance, although the Alliance advocated mutual assistance, there were still some things that needed to be done. It was an unwritten rule within the Alliance to give a fee to those who had information. Because of this, there were also no rules on how much should be given. It all depended on the person.
The servant felt that the person in front of him was a master who directly gave it to Kiel. As expected of a Mage. If it were those poor Warriors, even if they gave three Danba (copper coins), they would probably think that it was the kind of money with too many impurities. That would be disgusting. Thinking of this, the servant smiled and said,
"I'm not sure what the real purpose of sacrificing people is. The matter of the gods was all mysterious, who could really figure it out? But what they said is that they want to use it to revive their ancestor, Juyan Hanen. After all, in the historical records, that person died a heroic death. But whether or not Juyan Hanen is the real deal, I don't know. Probably only people from the same era as him can confirm it. But in this era where even Demon Kings can be revived, it's not impossible to revive more Generals of the Dark Army, or even the Dark Army as a whole. "
The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener took it seriously. When Lin heard this comment, he subconsciously shuddered. He turned his head to look at the Lich. The former Demon King didn't go crazy or fly into a rage, but his face was so cold that it was almost frozen. A certain person couldn't help but think that if the Dark Army of the past really revived, would this person gather another army and fight against them?
No! This time, he would probably single-handedly kill a few times. Ordinary armies, or even elite armies, were no longer unsolvable problems for this Lich. With just those four magic guns, with the Lich's power, if he fired at full power, no matter how many armies there were, they would be nothing more than food. As for how much she had evolved compared to when she was revived, or even before, a certain person's poor imagination couldn't imagine.
